10.0.5: Arms warrior

Arms just became the new DH if that goes through. Without a doubt EVERY caster in the game a long with healers will be in a rage.

My question is…why? Arms seems fine…warriors seem FINE.

I feel like Warriors are one of the melee I prefer to queue into on casters. :dracthyr_tea: Assassination, Unholy, Feral are all usually harder to both control and kill, no?

You know what? Upon further inspection Feral Druid and Warrior will be in the running as the new death dealers.

Can’t stand queueing into a good warrior

Almost all of the other melee feel the exact same way whether they’re good or bad

Bad warrior is free lunch money

Don’t you good warriors feel strong enough???

S1 is like a wheel of fortune and who gets to land in OP for a month before they patch it on 3 weeks worth of nerfs/tuning.

No but i do know your class is still strong. Blizzard dont worry ill take the scissors and cut the class in half myself. You dont gotta pay me a dime as well :blush:

Troll post, warriors are really easy to kill and can be easily outplayed. almost every class have some kind of speed reduction, that’s gg for warriors. maybe after next buff at their defensives they will be a problem, but right now theyre not

Warriors will easily be among the strongest melee in 10.0.5, coupled with their comp versatility and we’ll def be seeing alot of them.

I personally don’t think ignore pain is going to be as much mitigation as it was in various points of shadowlands but it will be enough, the talent tree changes as well as direct buffs to some talents (namely battlelord) will def see a sizeable damage increase (sustained not any higher hits than what they can currently do).

Actual 3s ladder already getting filled with war/ret again, right now being mostly propped up by how broken ret is, guess we are going back to SL.

Warriors are mean, but I can shut them down in various ways.
Unholy death knights AMS+IBF+apoc+limb just start pumping out damage while immune to every CC I have except for knockback.
I can’t do anything with that as a caster.

I think its a general melee insanity right now. The fact that Frost DK and Fury are the bottom tier pure melee right now is kind of laughable.

When you have complaints about UHDK, Feral, Ret, DH and soon to be Arms Warriors running all over arenas and its most peoples gripes around rated arena then there might be a problem.

I’m warning now its the synergy with those changes that are going to be an issue. Warriors are among the most balanced of the melee and pushing them too far up with just have us end up in the same place.

Feral Buffed more synergy
Warrior buffed more synergy
Fury will become a sleeper…
One more buff and unholy is going to become demonology warlock insanity…which is why as you can see THEY DIDNT EVEN TOUCH THEM!

There is going to be a full on healer and caster riot soon at this rate.

Honorable mention: Poor balance druids are still extinct. Bird flu.

I mean right now Feral and Ret are going nuts by themselves, buffing Arms is gonna make KFC and Ret/War unstoppable. It’s gonna be a rough next few months.

Arms is already so good. It does not need ignore pain. It is going to make it a god spec. If anything, it needs to be more vulnerable, not less vulnerable.

Juxtapose that against marks hunter that is barely hanging on and getting its primary go ability just flat removed. Like what is their actual direction for this game?

Arms not being S-tier is unintentional for Blizz, so they have been buffing them on every patch to get them there

Next patch they get free and buffed D-stance as well as IP, with no mobility/spear nerfs, so back to S-tier where they belong.

Yo but Blizz did so many Hunter changes in those 10.0.5 notes…such a trash company lol

All I know for certain is hunters are about to feel a whole new level of pain in the coming patch by every melee in the game except enhance.

Cause does enhance even exist???

Anyone know how much an ignore pain absorb is on the PTR?
